The Design and Evolution of Singerian Inquiring Organizations: Inspiring Leadership for Wise Action

Abstract

In this chapter, Singerian inquiring organizations are further developed as the most appropriate type of inquiring organization for moving from knowledge management to wisdom by elaborating on the original knowledge management concepts and framework proposed by Croasdell, Courtney, and Paradice (1998). In moving from knowledge management to wisdom, the author has integrated some of the most classic and substantive thinking, research, and practices in the leadership and wisdom literature into the design of Singerian inquiring organizations.
